• 2008 Subaru Impreza

    This time it is the real thing!Not that great but much better than all the illustrations I’ve seen of it.The interior, at least on this picture, looks rather plain. More very soon.

  • Mazda CX-5

    The magazine Auto Express has this illustration of what a small Mazda SUV would look like.This makes a lot of sense for the European Market where even the CX-7 is pretty big. This looks to be based on the next Mazda 3 platform. I think it would be great in the US too. Where “small”… Continue reading Mazda CX-5

  • Improvements!

    Look at the amazing difference between these 2 videos. The 1st one is a crash test for the 2001 Ford Escape.We can all agree it is pretty scary.The 2nd one shows a similar test for the 2005 Escape.With much better results.As far as I know, the Escape didn’t change much from 2001 to 2005, yet… Continue reading Improvements!

  • More small Lexus rumor

    Again, words of a “smaller than IS” lexus.Mostly for the European market as a BMW 1/Audi A3 series competitor.Why not…

  • G37 Interior

    Well, it’s official. The new G37 isn’t getting the cool interior from last year’s concept.Another dream shattered… The regular sedan interior is very nice (a friend of mine just got a 2007 sedan and it is a great car).But I was hoping for the “extra step”.

  • 2008 Ford Flex

    This is now the official name of the production version of the Ford Fairlane concept. As you can see on these pictures, even thought the design will stay very close to the concept, the interior is completely different.And they replaced the suicide doors by a more normal set up. This seems to be a big… Continue reading 2008 Ford Flex

  • Next Maybach?

    Well, actually, Maybach is looking at both a convertible and an SUV for their next model.Just when I though the brand was pretty much DOA… I almost never see one around here. But you can’t spend a few minutes in Beverly Hills without seeing a Rolls.

  • Better G37 pictures

    The official PR studio shots.Not sure if it’ll look that good in real life, unless you only drive inside tunnels…

  • All new Fiat 500

    You have to wonder whay such a major event like the return of the legendary Fiat 500 was not at the Geneva show a few weeks ago… In any case, I think this does look great.I would rather drive this than the Smart. I am not sure what are the engines and I don’t really… Continue reading All new Fiat 500

  • 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe

    Well….I must say I am a bid disappointed, at least from the car on the pictures. Maybe it is the color. Or something.It just doesn’t look new. And doesn’t look expensive. The new BMW 3 series coupe doesn’t look futuristic, but it does look very classy and expensive. This lacks something. The 3.7 engine will… Continue reading 2008 Infiniti G37 Coupe

  • Smart safety concerns

    For those of you who don’t think the Smart car is safe.(That means most people…) This is a video of a Smart (the previous generation, not the one we’ll get) crashing head on into a concrete wall at 70 mph.Most crashes don’t even happen at that speed. Most people have the time or reflexes to… Continue reading Smart safety concerns

  • $12 000 Smart in the US.

    The 2008 Smart will start at $12 000 when it goes on sale in the US next year. But wait, that won’t get you Air conditioning, power windows or even a sereo!To get that, you’ll have to step up to the $14 000 Passion model.You’ll also get the glass roof and alloy wheels. The “convertible”… Continue reading $12 000 Smart in the US.

  • Aura Hybrid price

    The new Saturn Aura green line Hybrid will start at $22 695, including transport.That is about $100 less than the Prius. But the mileage is a very ‘un-hybrid’ 28mpg in the city and 35 hwy.The Altima Hybrid is rated at 41 city/36hwy.And the cheaper Camry LE with a regular 2.4 Liter is rated at 24… Continue reading Aura Hybrid price

  • ZAP-X

    These are the 1st official illustrations of this all electric SUV from ZAP and Lotus.Based on last year’s APX concept. With crazy specs too:-More than 300 miles on a charge.-10 minutes to charge.-0 to 60 in about 5 seconds. The whole thing sounds too good to be true. And it sounds very, very expensive….

  • Can’t afford a Rolls Royce?

    Don’t worry.This “fake’ Phantom is for sale on Ebay.It is based on a 1997 Town Car, and if you drive by really fast, nobody will be able to tell the difference….
